USAC Candidate endorsements

With the demise of the Students First! coalition, this year’s
USAC

elections witnessed the emergence of two new slates: Praxis and
Sanity ’98. This year saw a steep decline in the

number of candidates running for office. In fact, for two of the
offices, Facilities Commission and Financial Supports Commission,
no one was originally interested in running, and several offices
are unopposed. In choosing which

candidates to endorse, the Editorial Board sought individuals
who had a passion for issues, specific knowledge of the position
and concrete plans.

Candidates for each office were given equal time to make a

presentation to the Editorial Board, followed by a question and
answer session. All candidates had the opportunity to participate
in the Daily Bruin Endorsement

hearings. Yet, some chose

not to.

The Daily Bruin regrets that Campus Events Commission candidate
Charles Ku was unable to meet with the Editorial Board due to
an

unfortunate

miscommunication.
